How to use the Clinical Practice WorkbookRead Section 3.9 of the Trainer’s Guide for full information about Clinical Practice sessions:
This Clinical Practice Workbook is for trainers and clinical facilitators. It is divided into 6 sections.
The first section contains:1. ‘Clinical Practice: general information for trainers and clinical facilitators’, which applies to the organisation and running of ALL the clinical sessions and should be read before the course begins.2. Four documents:
Role Play ■
Breastfeeding Observation Form 1 ■
These are for Clinical Practice 1 and Observe a birth (Session 3)
Breastfeeding Observation Form 2 ■
Examination recording Form ■
These are for Clinical practice 2, 3 and 4
The Breastfeeding Observation Forms 1 and 2 and the Examination Recording form should be photocopies as required (see individual session front pages for more details)
The Module SectionsEach of the next 5 section are arranged in the same order. Each section contains instructions, task sheets and checklists which can be used according to how the course is organised.
The first part of each modular section contains:Instruction Sheet ■
Task sheet ■
Checklist ■
These three documents cover the clinical practice requirements for each topic in a complete module. They should be used for courses of 4 or 5 consecutive or individual days which follow ALL of the sessions in each of the first four modules.
The Instruction and Task sheets give the trainer and clinical facilitator specific guidance on how to organise the practice session and what tasks have to be completed for that module.
The checklist can be used to monitor the progress of participants during a module CP session and practical demonstrations.
Participant’s Task sheets are part of the Participant’s Workbook. They should be photocopied BEFORE the course begins. It is recommended that specific module clinical practice task sheets are given out during the appropriate clinical practice preparation period.
The remaining documents are:Task sheet for facilitator or trainer ■
Task sheet for participant ■
Checklist ■
These task sheets and checklists are for each individual session. They should be used for sessions taught individually or where a course is taught on half a day a week for several weeks.
The task sheet for participants should be photocopied as required and given to the participant during the clinical practice preparation period.

This information applies to ALL Clinical Practices
1. Group organizationThe class will be divided into groups for Clinical Practice:
One TRAINER/CLINICAL FACILITATOR with 4 participants ■
Plan the groups as soon as the participants’ list becomes available ■
BEFORE the course begins. Print a list of all the groups and trainer/clinical facilitator responsible and display it clearly for participants to see on arrival.
2. General preparation before each clinical practice session Each morning ONE TRAINER/CLINICAL FACILITATOR must liaise with the clinical area and carry out the following tasks:
Ensure mothers and babies available (in the different required ■
categories for each Clinical Practice). Write down ■
the location of the mothers and babies. ■
current numbers of women in labour room and number of women ■
in early labour (until all groups have observed a delivery and immediate newborn care).
Prepare appropriate mothers and obtain their permission ■ BEFORE the participants visite them for clinical session. Plan the rotation of each group and the location where each group ■
will begin.Confirm the availability of a small room/area where participants can ■
gather between tasks and for discussion.Check if facilities are available for washing and drying hands easily ■
in the clinical areas. If they are not, arrange for a handrub to be available for all participants.Inform health workers in the clinical areas about the visit. ■
Ask permission for supervised groups to access the mothers’ or ■
babies’ notes.
during the week before the course begins, facilitators and trainers should:
Meet and visit the clinical area and briefly discuss how the clinical ■
practice is organized. Decide who will liaise with the clinical areas each day. ■
Decide in advance where participant groups will work. ■
Decide how to organize the first clinical practice so that each group ■
visits the labour ward in rotation when a delivery is about to take place.

Clinical practice General information
3. General information for participantsGive this general information to the whole class before the groups go to the clinical area for the first clinical practice.
During each clinical practice participants have a. two main tasks which are:
To observe the care of newborn babies in relation to the topics ■
covered in the classroom before the clinical practice session and to practice, where possible, some of the skills learnt.To use what they learn on the course to reflect on the clinical ■
practices in their own workplace.
Participants will work in groups of 4 with 1 trainer or clinical b. facilitator.
The clinical facilitator will arrange where to meet and prepare each c. group BEFORE the clinical practice.
At this meeting each group will be told:d. Where they will begin the clinical work, ■
What they will see ■
What they will do ■
What order they should carry out tasks ■
How they should work. ■
Each participant will be given:e. A sheet with instructions for the session ■
Relevant forms appropriate to the clinical practice ■
In addition participants should take with them:Pen/pencil and notebook ■
PCPNC Guide (one between two participants) ■
After each task is completed participants will have a short f. discussion with the trainer or clinical facilitator about what they have seen or done. This should be in a quiet, private part of the clinical area, away from the mothers. Corridors should not be blocked. Chairs in a public waiting area should not be used, unless they are available.
During some tasks the trainer or clinical facilitator will assess the g. participants. If the task is not completed satisfactorily it may have to be repeated.
Participants will only pass the course if they attend all sessions and h. pass the assessed tasks.
Participants can also make notes of what they see, of anything of i. interest or questions related to the topic, which they would like to discuss later with their trainers, facilitators and colleagues in the Practice Review session.

eMPHasize the following points:The aims of the clinical practice are to ■ develop and improve participants’ own skills and working practices. In the clinical setting they may see practices that are not best ■
practices. They should NOT criticize what they see. Instead, they should think ■
about how changes can be made. They should ensure their own care of the newborn baby and mother ■
is of a high standard.They MUST NOT discuss individual cases they visit in the clinical ■
area. They MUST speak quietly. ■
They must wear their name badges and appropriate clothing in the ■
clinical area.If they have any problems or questions during the clinical practice ■
they must FIRST of all consult their clinical facilitator.
ASK if there are any questions.
Clinical facilitators and trainers can now prepare their groups.Remember that before Clinical Practice 1 begins, there is a short role ■
play that all the class must see prior to going to the clinical area.
Further details about the organization of the clinical practice sessions can be found in the Trainers Guidelines.
4. The role of the trainers and clinical facilitatorsIn the clinical area the role of the trainer and clinical facilitator is to:
a. Arrange with participants in the group where to meet for ■
preparation of the Clinical practice session.Instruct participants where to begin. ■
b. Ensure the clinical experience meets the practical objectives of the ■
taught sessions. Demonstrate set skills and oversee participants practicing these ■
set skills.Ensure participants have relevant instructions. Read the ■
instructions with the group so they are clear about the purpose of the session and what they are doing. Instruct participants in what order they will carry out their tasks. ■
c. Demonstrate set skills to their group at the beginning of each ■
session.Assign group members to particular mothers and babies. ■
d.
Discuss participants’ findings in a quiet part of the clinical area ■
away from the mothers and babies when each task is completed. Ensure all participants carry out tasks. ■

The PRACTICE REVIEW topic for discussion will be:Identify one aspect of care at the time of birth which could be done differently.
What COULD YOU realistically do to bring about any changes? ■
What would be the main barriers to change? ■
3. Direct group to their first task.Tasks can be done in any order according to the situation in the ■
ward area. However the priority is to see a delivery and the care of a baby immediately afterwards.After each task discuss with the group or individuals from the group ■
what they have seen/done. Choose an area away from the mothers e.g. outside the ward, in a ■
corridor or in a designated room
Information about YOUR ROLE in each set task is contained in the following CLINICAL PRACTICE TASK SHEET.
4. After Clinical practice 1Check Clinical Assessment Form for Clinical Practice 1. ■
See any participant who needs to repeat any task or who is weak in a ■
particular area.Note any parts of the session which did not work well or was not ■
completed by all participants. Keep a record of what may still need to be covered in the Practice review session.

ObjectivesAt the end of this session, each participant should be able to:
Demonstrate, at least twice, care of the baby at birth and basic ■
resuscitation.Make decisions about resuscitation based on scenarios. ■
Explain to the mother reasons for the resuscitation and the outcome ■
– baby is well, needs further ventilation or has died. Demonstrate care after resuscitation. ■
Clean the resuscitation equipment and prepare it for the next baby ■
[optional].

Task sheetBasic newborn resuscitation Trainer demonstrates First, the trainer repeats the procedure as demonstrated in the lecture “in real time”: 1. Time of birth is called out2. Newly born baby is received in a cloth, dried, cloth changed, wrapped in a dry cloth, breathing assessed, cord cut.3. Head positioned4. Mouth and nose suctioned5. Seal, ventilation, chest observation6. Stopping and assessment 7. Summarizing the time needed for each step8. Skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding the baby9. Talking to the mother10. Recording the event.
The trainer next explains each step slowly:
Open the airwayPosition the head so that it is slightly extended (emphasize not to ■
over-extend).Suction first the mouth and then the nose. ■
Introduce a suction tube 5 cm into the baby’s mouth from the lips ■
and suck while withdrawing. Introduce suction tube 3 cm into each nostril and suck while ■
withdrawing until no mucus. Take no more than 20 seconds for suctioning.
If still no breathing, ventilatePlace mask to cover chin, mouth and nose ■
Form seal ■
Squeeze bag attached to the mask with 2 fingers 2 or 3 times ■
Observe rise of the chest. If chest not rising: ■
reposition head ■
check mask seal ■
If chest still not rising, squeeze bag harder with whole hand ■
Once good seal and chest rising, ventilate at 40 squeezes per minute ■
until baby starts crying or breathing.
Participants now take turnsA. Wet manikin and ensure real-life situation. Ensure time called out and that all participants take part. Participants repeat the individual steps until they can do it well. Then, the participant practises steps 1–10 together (in real time) until two good resuscitations. Fill out participant check list.
B. The trainer gives 4-5 different decision making scenarios to the group. Each participant performs at least 1 scenario in real time. Note weak participants who will need extra teaching.
C. Communicating with the mother: Reasons for resuscitation ■
Good outcome ■
Bad outcome (death) ■
D. Recording: N4 , N6 , N7 .
